How does Sai Baba's continued presence after his Mahasamadhi compare to that of other great saints in India?

The scriptures draw a direct parallel, suggesting this is a known characteristic of great saints. Chapter 43 explains that just as Sai Baba remains eternally present in Shirdi, other saints have done the same in their respective domains. It gives the example of Maharaj Gyanoba (Gyaneshwar), who gave darshan three centuries after he left his body. The text explicitly states that Sai's presence in Shirdi is the same as that of Tukaram Maharaj in Dehu, Narasimha Saraswati in Alandi, and Samarth Ramdas in Parli. This illustrates a spiritual principle: these great souls, or avatars, are beyond birth and death and their influence remains unbroken, proving that wherever a devotee holds a feeling in their mind for them, they will experience their presence.
